<p>Hello Everyone,</p>
<p></p>
<p>My son's best friend is in this division and I just wanted to read a little bit about what's been going on. My son's PIR was back on 8/26/11, so I know how excited and emotional everyone is with just a couple more weeks to go!</p>

<p>Howdy, finally got approved and thought I'd pop in...though I'm not sure I'm doing this right. My son is in 02/910 and we are very excited for him. He left on Nov. 21st from TX and we miss him dearly. Had an early Thanksgiving for him and missed him terribly for Christmas and New Years. Can't wait for PIR. He told me that a couple of his buddies moms were on here so I thought I'd look you up. With no last names it is hard to figure out, but I got on here anyway. Hope to meet up with some of…</p>

Hope to meet up with some of you at graduation. How do I find the FB page for this group to join? I'm an old Navy wife, but a new Navy mom and this sure is a different feeling...</p> Encouragement Questionnairetag:navyformoms.ning.com,2012-01-06:1971797:Topic:67681182012-01-06T23:41:28.215ZLala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbonshttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/Lala
<p>You will have to copy and paste this to word and tweak it a little so that it works for you. This is one of the questionnaires I made and sent to my sailor/daughter. It is a great one to send now that your recruits are halfway through. Plus you can get answers to questions you need answers to. And they take less time than writing a letter so the recruits love them. Change it around and make it yours and have fun with it. There are some very encouraging parts near the end.…</p>

<p>Ok, now is time for some advice.<br/>I guess you have realized that boot camp in many ways has gotten easier in the last couple of weeks. But now it is getting hard again. The RDC’s have loosened up a little and you have made some friends. It is no longer about what you can do. It is about what your group can do together as a team. When you are going through battle stations remember what they want is teamwork. There is no “I” in team. You must be able to work together. Battlestations is to prepare you for an actual emergency on a ship. They have to know that you have what it takes to handle any kind of emergency situation. So when you are going into battlestations think of yourself as just one very small part of a machine. If all the other parts are not working the machine will fail. If one part is having a hard time you must step in and help that part out. If you need to take the lead do it. If you need to let someone else take the lead let them. That’s what teamwork is. You can do this. You should know by now that you have to work together. The RDC’s are not looking for who does the best at this point. They are looking at how well you come together as a group and how you handle an emergency. Take care of your team first and do your part. Help those who are having a hard time. Don’t think you can’t be set back at this point because you can. You have to keep busting your ass to get this done. You have come too far and grown too much to turn back. Now it is time to finish this task. If a division does bad as a group it looks bad on the person in charge. It makes him/her look like they didn’t do their job. So bust your butts and get this done together as a team. You can do this. Most recruits say battle stations is fun after it is over. But you must have that teamwork. So make sure everything y’all do from this point on is all about teamwork. Yeah!!!! GO TEAM!!! You got this, you really do. Good luck! And this Navy Mom loves you all….</p>

<p>"I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way." -- John Paul Jones</p>
<p>One of the most physically challenging and motivating events in your training calendar is Basic Seamanship. You will start with the basics of line handling and shipboard watch standing. Don't relax, your training will move quickly. By the end of the third day you will be tested on getting the USS MARLINESPIKE (simulated training ship) underway and back to port safely as a team. Successful completion of this vigorous training will put you one step closer to the final hurdle "Battle Stations."</p>
<p>Are you Sea Worthy?</p>

<p>Received my daughter's "form letter" today. She's in SHIP 3 DIV 056. That's a week later than we expected, but it's because she had an extra week of processing. She said the food is great, her hair looks like crap & she really needs a shower. I'm so happy to hear she's okay & she even said she misses us. Is there anyone else who has a son/daughter/spouse graduating on 2/3/12? </p>
